We are very pleased to welcome back Paul McGowan from PS Audio demonstrating their new Directstream DAC that converts all PCM CD and file data to DSD with a simplified signal path. PS Audio says this enables greater details and musicality to emerge especially from older generation CDs often regarded as sonically compromised. There is an abundance of information and videos below and on the PS Audio website detailing the new Directstream DAC and it's unique technology.
PS Audio: "DirectStream is one of the most remarkable DACS ever built. Hand written, discrete, perfection based conversion that uncovers all the missing information hiding in your digital audio media for all these years. CD’s, downloads, high-resolution PCM or DSD based media are expertly upsampled in the DirectStream to ten times DSD rate and output as pure analog directly into your amplifier or preamplifier."
